#why are men so complicated?

So Christmas is just around the corner and I am currently in the middle of finals and racking my brain trying to find appropriate gifts for my favorite people. If I were a millionaire this time of year would be less of a struggle but since I am a student on a budget, every penny matters but I still want to make sure that I get special people a gift they deserve and that will show them how much they truly mean to me.

So there are options; you can either make a DIY gift or online shop like a crazy person (like I do) on your study breaks and look for the best bang for your buck.

I love DIY ideas but  I am not that crafty or artsy so the most DIY I do is the cards. I love making my own cards. I use either Walgreens or Walmart and make picture cards, from either my favorite pictures with myself and that individual or a comic or art work that I know they would love. It also allows you to write whatever you want inside. It's personal and perfect and a great addition to any gift.

So now to the big stuff, the gift ideas. This will be a series since I have been lacking on my posting but I figured I would help people out with my gift ideas. The first post will be about gift ideas for him. These are things I am looking at and are relatively affordable but still oh so classy and perfect for that important man in your life.

1. The Coin: this is awesome, although it only officially comes out next year it is great for any guy.

2. The Slimmy: for the guy that hates the lumpy wallets.

3. J.Crew Harry's Truman Shave Kit: a great stocking stuffer.

4. Banana Republic Wool Scarf: as the temperature drops make sure his next is warm.

5. J. Crew Usb Phone Charger: I don't know about you but my phone never has enough battery.

6. HUGO Tie: A business guy can never have enough ties!

7. Topman Skinny Fit Check Sportscoat: I love a good sports coat, keeps the guy warm and looking stylish.
And don't forget your kisses, a guy can never have enough kisses from a pretty lady.

I'll see you all soon for my next gift guide.

Kisses!

#sassy pants

I am sure everyone has those days when sniddy comments and a sassy attitude is the one way that you will be able to get through the day, especially around certain people.
Well I am firm believer that a sassy attitude is greatly complimented with a sassy outfit, particularly sassy pants.
Vibrant prints, animals prints and geometric shape prints are on everything lately and I love it. There is nothing like spicing up a simple work outfit with a bit of print. The print adds personality, style and just enough sass to get you through the day. Below I have a few pant options that are perfect for in and out of the office!
(FYI: Zara is having a sale and they have such amazing options for printed trousers!)

This printed trouser with the side stripe is perfect, with a simple, plain top it would be perfect in any office and for a night out with the girls!

I love these Banana Republic pants, affordable and sassy!

These Trina Turk "Mandie" Silk Pants look so comfortable and sassy, I need them!!

And finally these A.L.C. Sutro Pants that are on sale! I've been watching these for a while now!












I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday and a stylish week!
